He made AA Huntsville in 1985, then AAA Tacoma in 1986. He moved to the Indians in a 1987 trade. He also made the majors.

Dorsett got into five games for the Indians that year, picking up three hits in 11 at bats. Dorsett ended up making the majors each year from 1987 to 1991, but he never got into more than 14 games in any one campaign.

Dorsett missed the majors entirely in 1992. He then arrived with the Reds. He got into 25 games for Cincinnati in 1993, hitting .254 in 63 at bats.

"A ninth-inning, bases-loaded homer is a dream come true," Dorsett told The Associated Press after what ended up to be a loss. "It was a real thrill. It'd be a lot sweeter if we'd won."

After that year, Dorsett only returned to the majors one more time, 17 games with the Cubs in 1996. His hopes to return to the Reds for 1995 ended near the end of spring training, as he was sent back to the minors.

"It's tough for Dorsett," Reds manager Davey Johnson told The AP then. "He's done a great job for us for two years. He's a gamer. He hung around a long time to get up here and prove he can play here. He can hold his head high."
